Foster's Market has a charming cottage café vibe. Head over for breakfast or lunch and enjoy a salad, soup, sandwich or one of their many baked goods (perhaps a slice of their indulgent peanut butter pie) on the patio or lawn. On your way out, stop to peruse their selection of local gifts, including jams, coffee, toffee, cheese straws, grits and candy, along with cookbooks and kitchenware.

Best cubano sandwich. I hadn’t been to this place in 15 years, and it didn’t disappoint. Very informal place, with plenty of tables although it does get full.

A lot choices at this place between sandwiches, salads, breakfast, and dessert. I loved the casual, laid-back vibe where they run the floor looking for you to deliver your food and the honor system where you pay after you finish your food. I saw they had Mac & cheese with ham. The guy dishes it out and asked me “Is that enough”. Heck, he gave me practically a whole plateful. Everything is fresh and homemade. You can also buy packed goods like peanut butter and jams they prepared.

Went in for breakfast today and it was a solid win!
- *Food:* Delicious, hit all the right spots.
- *Coffee:* Strong, smooth, and just the right kick.
- *Vibe:* Chill, good for a relaxed start to the day.
Overall, a great spot if you want tasty breakfast + good coffee without any fuss. Will swing by again.

Loved bringing my dog here and having a wonderful brunch. I like how they were set up to seat yourself, order upfront and someone will deliver your order. It made for fast service.

Great concept. Sandwich shop and coffee shop in an old farmhouse. Great staff. Food was good and sitting outside was nice, plenty of indoor seating also. Try a slice of pie with your meal

Overall really great! I loved the ham egg and cheese biscuit, and my dirty chai latte was amazing. The chai actually tasted like high quality chai. I also had tiramisu and it was great!
Everything was maybe a touch pricy so I won’t come here all the time, but I will say the food was worth it if you feel like splurging.
LGBT friendly as far as I’m aware, I’m visibly queer and was treated well.
Gravel parking lot and mixed terrain floors inside, so if you have physical disabilities navigating the space might be challenging. They do have a ramp into the building.
I added some videos of the handicap parking and the parking lot/floors.

Without a doubt, some
Of the best food you will eat anywhere. I consider the prices the lowest I've seen for the high quality of food. The deserts/cakes are to die for. The food shop has wonderful selections to take home. If you are near Durham, you have to visit!

The place was heaving with people when we came in Saturday for late breakfast/brunch, but the ordering situation (at the counter with lots of folks taking orders) made things move along super-quickly. We had my brother and sister-in-law's dog with us and sat outside, where "all animals are welcome." (Hank is kind of an anxious fellow but after a little medication and a treat he settled pretty well -- we were in the section to the right of the front door, down a few steps, which was unoccupied except by us for the majority of our visit.)
I ordered the omelette with corn, asparagus, and I don't know what else, but it was massive and SOOOOO good! Wish I had paid attention to the sauce but it made the dish. Came with home fries that were also delicious. SIL had avocado toast, brother had chilaquiles, and both of their plates were spotless when they finished (WITHOUT help from Hank 😉), and we all enjoyed our coffees, one brewed and two fancy.
The staff was amazing and friendly, the lines moved quickly, and the atmosphere was fun and congenial. Will definitely be back and bringing more visitors!
